Introduction
“Hawks over Shem” is Howard’s historical story “Hawks over Egypt” transformed into a Conan story by L. Sprague de Camp by changing the names of people and locations to fit into the Hyborian Age. It is usually credited to both authors. It is basically the same story with a few name changes.
The Cross Plains Library has an original draft of this story. L. Sprague de Camp rewrote “Hawks Over Egypt” into a Conan story “Hawks Over Shem”.
